This is really, really sad!
Brendan and I would always stop by Raquel and Larry's on our trips out to wash turtles, for a cold drink, a snack or a visit.....wonderful people that
always make us feel at home.
Our hearts go out to Larry and his family, she will be missed deeply......Debra and Brendan
Mean people suck!

I think you are all off base on what happened, I think we will find out that they left BOLA with a sum of money to buy supplies and make a deposit in
the US and when they were confronted they chose to outrun them, thats whey so many shots they probably followed them quite a distance. Larry probably
never stopped till he got to Camino Federales in San Quintin, where he got help.

Here's an article from El Vigia (posted on the caravaning thread by Lencho) that I believe has information that they did stop and seek help - and that
Raquel was taken to Catavi?a:

I think comitan has it right on the money. 30 rounds is two clips out of a glock 9mm. The perps unloaded when Larry didn't stop, and shot to kill,
not to disable the vehicle. A brutal crime commited by VERY evil people.

loose translation.....
Officials of the Preventive Federal Police (PFP) in San Quint?n, started an operationto capture people responsible for murder , on the highway MEX1,
in the delegation of Catavi?a.
According to the PFP, at exactly 9:00AM, the report was filed by telephone from Catavi?a.
The caller declared, that a green Ford Explorer, 5FPC070 California, had received bullet holes, the police officials were verifying the facts.
According to sources, several units responded, where they found the truck with 30 bullet holes. They seemed to be 9 mm. It was abandoned on the side
of the highway transpeninsular.
Before police arrived , the victims requested the aid people that passed, to take Raquel Duarte Fife, who had several injuries.
They drove to Catavi?a, where the American woman died, after the death, Franklin Fife husband of the deceased, he requested the presence of the
Preventive Federal Police, to whom gave the version of the facts.
According to the witnesses, said that the victims were driving north, and a vehicle of white color gave chase, initiating a barrage of fire that seem
to be 9 millimeters, causing the death to the woman.
The officials commanded by Arturo Motolinia Reign, asked other operations in the delegations of the Rosary, Catavi?a, Tight Tip, and Bay of LA to stop
any suspects, this gave negative results.
Agents of the attorney general's office of Justice of the State responded (PGJE) from San Quint?n, as well as the CSI Unit, in search of evidence from
the murder.
Federal police officers said, that a search of 500 meters was carried out around the place where the couple was attacked. They failed to find the
expent cartridges.
At present, it is considered that the murderers possibility, could have been trying for robbery or abduction, against the American couple

I thought Larry, not Raquel was the American of the two.
I wonder if they will try harder if it is reported that Raquel is Mexicana?

We travel back and forth to Cabo and to hear this is so sad. Hope they find the truth and this does not make Americans feel unsafe to travel. You must
always be careful, but we have always have found the mexicans, happy helpful . 99% are great, honest people. How sad....Lynn y Lynn

shooting.

SCREAMS of a Meth head situation. Seems like Comitan nailed it.
And probably also means they were planning on killing them both. Kudos to Larry for surviving. His story of fleing for his life may be more haroing
than Toms.

The latest developments that Larry recognized a former employee are very interesting and definately proves what my husband Juan ALWAYS says...DO NOT
TELL ANYBODY WHEN YOU ARE GOING ON A TRIP OUT OF TOWN! Many expats travel north with alot of cash, enough for a meth head to kill for. As this
horrible violence happened fairly close to Larry and Raquel's home, we thought it may not have been random. The baja is a very small world and word
gets around very quickly so anyone wanting to do harm gets tipped off easily. Very alarming indeed and my heartfelt sorrow goes out to the family in
BLA and all their relations.

When they find the gutter scum they should tow it behind a panga for shark bait....that's after making small cuts that bleed slowly.

Shari, being a fellow innkeeper, I am sure this hits very close to home for you. Your husband is a wise man.

I have been following this story since the news broke on this board. I was so saddened to hear of this act of violence against some very nice people.
All I could think is that they were Americanos that retired to a beautiful place, had a little business and helped the economy of BOLA amd this is
just too sad! We had breakfast there on our honeymoon and Raquel was very nice to us, and breakfast was great. I did not know these folks but I had
the pleasure of meeting her and wanted to send my thoughts and prayers to Larry and the rest of their family. If this was indeed a former employee, I
pray they catch him soon and he is punished for this terrible crime.

Raquel & Larry
I agree with Don Jorge and beg everyone to limit chatter to condolences in respect for the family and their privacy. Please keep your speculation off
this site. We love the family like our own and this loss will forever be a deep hole in my heart.
